Description
### Describe the issue you are having
Ride is not presenting the current namespace. It would be nice to see the current namespace in a status line.
As a more advanced feature would be to present the list of namespaces to choose from/switch to by clicking on a current namespace in a status bar.
### Did you connect to an already running interpreter or start the interpreter from RIDE?
Start an interpreter

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the status-bar UI entry point and the interpreter namespace handling, then determine how the current namespace is obtained. Done means the current namespace is visible in the status line; clickable namespace selection and switching should be clarified before implementation.
